Easy 5-Minute Installation of the LTM-2

Instek Control • Aug 20, 2020
In 2014, Instek Control launched the Level Transmitter Mining (LTM-2) level measurement probe as alternative to traditional measurement systems for difficult and sometimes seemingly impossible measuring environments. 

Just over six years later, the LTM-2 has become a highly popular measurement tool in the mining and pulp and paper industries. 

Simple and fast installation



One of the major benefits of the LTM-2 has proven to be its easy installation process.



Installing the LTM-2 probe instead of ultrasonic equipment has the advantage of not being density dependent and is not sensitive to froth or product build-up. The probe can be installed within five minutes and requires low maintenance, thereby making it “virtually maintenance free” as there are no mechanical moving parts. When installed and utilised correctly, the LTM-2 probe will deliver on performance, creating a stable control environment for flotation applications.





A benchmark success



With setup that can be achieved in less than 5 minutes, the LTM-2 probe has been adopted with great success, especially in the mining industry. Besides easy installation, the LTM-2 provides the following advantages when installed in place of ultrasonic devices:

  • No moving parts
  • Not density dependent
  • Not sensitive to froth or product build-up
  • The probes are virtually maintenance free



The unit has proven to accurately measures the pulp/froth interface and provides a stable feedback signal at an optimal update rate without excessive ‘damping’, all of which provides improved process control and stability.



Setting higher standards leads to continuous improvement of performance.

Salute Giovanni Venturi!

By Instek Control • 05 Nov, 2019
In this blog post we are going back in time to toast the life of Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi (1764 – 1822). He was responsible for figuring out an important element in basic fluid and airflow dynamics, which came to be known as The Venturi Effect.

Now available: Conductivity sensor with IO-Link

Digitalisation has already found its way into many branches of industry under the keywords "Industry 4.0" or "Internet of Things", and today it is impossible to imagine life without it. INSTEK Control is excited to announce that the new dimension in hygienic measuring technology is digital and analogue, compact or remote and modular.

Getting cleaning concentration, time and temperature right: your key to successful brewery sanitation

By Instek Control • 03 Oct, 2019
When it comes to a brewery, you clean to prevent the transfer of tastes from one beer to the next, and you clean to help assure your product is safe for human consumption. In the face of increasing supply and demand, brewing plants are compelled to keep the cost of production as low as possible, without sacrificing safety and quality of the end-product.

Turning up the pressure for consumer product safety

By Instek Control • 09 Sep, 2019
The highest priority in the production of food, beverages and pharmaceuticals is product safety. In sanitary applications, such as the production of vaccines or baby food, the purity, quality and stability of the product must be ensured.
